A Comparative Heat Transfer Examination of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) With and Without Phase Change Materials (PCMs) Using a Dynamic Wall Simulator
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
The main focus of this paper was to present data to advance the design of a previously developed thermally-enhanced structural insulated panel (SIP) that had been outfitted with phase change materials (PCMs) (Medina et ...

Commissioning of a Coupled Earth Tube and Natural Ventilation System at the Design Phase
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2007)
Natural ventilation airflow rate is generally calculated using indoor and outdoor temperature difference without consideration of thermal interaction between the ventilated air and the room in simple analytical method based ...
The Persistence of Savings Obtained from Commissioning of Existing Buildings
(2008-06-10)
The objective of this study is to investigate the reasons why the performance of
mechanical systems degrades over time after commissioning and to recommend intervals
at which testing should be performed to maintain the ...
Recommendations for 15% Above-Code Energy Efficiency Measures for Single-Family Residences
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2007-12)
This paper presents an overview of the recommendations for achieving 15% above-code energy performance for single-family residences. The analysis was performed using a simulation model of an International Energy Conservation ...
Air Handling Unit Supply Air Temperature Optimization During Economizer Cycles
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2007)
Most air handling units (AHUs) in commercial buildings have an air economizer cycle for free cooling under certain outside air conditions. During the economizer cycle, the outside air and return air dampers are modulated ...
Continuous Commissioning of the Reynolds Army Community Hospital, Fort Sill, Oklahoma
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2007)
Continuous Commissioning® (CC®) of the Reynolds Army Community Hospital facility was a two phase project. The first phase consisted of a point-to-point verification of a newly upgraded Energy Management Control System ...

Use of Renewable Energy in Buildings: Experiences With Solar Thermal Utilization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
Solar energy is receiving much more attention in building energy systems in recent years. Solar thermal utilization should be based on the integration of solar collectors into buildings. The facades of buildings can be ...
Optimal Regulation of Heating Systems with Metering Based on Dynamic Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
The mathematical models of heat networks and heat users are established using the node method. The physical model of a typical room instead of a heat user is used; meanwhile the equation of radiator controlled by thermostat ...
